Poisonous Goddess: I'm just lazing around in the mortal realm.

Aru's face twitched slightly, and she slowly lowered her head. How could she not remember that time?

"So that's why the young lady acted that way after receiving a reply from Young Master Helian."

She lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes.

A-Meng turned her head and noticed that her younger sister seemed a little strange, so she quickly spoke up.

"What's wrong with you? You seemed so distracted when we started talking about Young Master Helian?"

"I...I'm fine."

Aru suddenly noticed a burning gaze from the other person. She hurriedly waved her hand and tried to turn and leave, but she didn't expect that Ameng was her own sister after all.

Before she could turn around, he grabbed her arm and said...

Did you see anything today?

A hint of panic flashed in Aru's eyes. Even though she had acted extremely calm in front of Pei Nanyue just now, she never expected that her sister would be the first to discover her problem.

She turned her face to the side, trying not to answer A-Meng's question.

"Tell me quickly, did you see something you shouldn't have seen at the entrance of the princess's residence?"

A Meng was naturally a little flustered. She thought that her young mistress had long been in love with that young master Helian and had even fasted for several days because of that farewell letter. She must have already placed Helian Nash in her heart.

If Helian Nash were to cause any more trouble now, and with neither the second young lady nor the master of the Pei family present, it's likely that no one could stop the eldest young lady.

Thinking of this, A-Meng couldn't help but increase the pressure on her hands.

Seeing that Ameng wouldn't give up so easily, Aru could only nod helplessly.

"Yes... I saw something I shouldn't have seen. I was going to tell Miss, but I didn't expect that Miss's face would change as soon as you mentioned Young Master Helian... That's why I didn't dare to say anything."

A-Meng's eyes twitched involuntarily, and her expression suddenly became extremely unnatural.

When Aru saw her sister's expression, her heart sank. When she turned around, she saw Pei Nanyue standing at the gate of the courtyard.

At this moment, Pei Nanyue was wearing a long white dress and her face was somewhat pale.

His expression betrayed his shock, suggesting he had been standing there for some time.

"Miss..."

"Miss..."

Aru and Ameng immediately knelt down in unison, just as what they feared most had come to pass!

Pei Nanyue took a deep breath to keep herself from fainting and barely managed to steady herself.

"What did you see? Why don't you tell me? Aru!" Although she pretended to be shocked, her trembling voice betrayed her true feelings.

She knew it; she had noticed that A-Meng's face stiffened just now, which must have been because A-Ru's words had a loophole.

Although she didn't really understand Aru's personality, she understood Ameng very well. For Ameng, Aru was just like her and Sui Sui; she had long held the other in the deepest place in her heart.

It must have been because she noticed the change in Ah Meng's expression that she secretly followed the two sisters to the backyard.

Aru glanced hesitantly at Ameng beside her, but she still didn't dare to speak directly.

Seeing that her younger sister was too frightened to speak, A-Meng had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer.

"Please forgive me, Miss. Aru... Aru was afraid you would be angry, that's why I didn't dare to tell you."

“I know that if you tell me about this, Aru, I will let bygones be bygones. But if you are unwilling to tell me, I will punish you.” Pei Nanyue’s sharp eyes instantly intimidated Aru.

Aru collapsed to the ground. Even though she was often by the Second Miss's side and had a personality just like the Second Miss, she was extremely afraid of the Eldest Miss.

“Young Miss…” A-Meng wanted to speak up for her younger sister, but A-Ru interrupted her.

"Please forgive me, Miss. I saw Young Master Helian leave through the side gate of the Fourth Princess's residence. He even got into a carriage parked in the side alley, afraid that others would see him."

As soon as Aru finished speaking, she quickly buried her head.

She was afraid that Pei Nanyue would blame her for what happened to Helian Nash.

Her older sister, A-Meng, was also surprised that her younger sister dared to tell the truth. She glanced at A-Ru, who was already kneeling down, and then followed her and lay down on the ground.

"Please forgive me, Miss. Aru did not mean to deceive you."

"Miss-"

The two of them muttering to themselves instantly left Pei Nanyue feeling bewildered.

She gasped, her body swaying slightly, until she managed to steady herself against a stone wall.

She glanced down at the two sisters on the ground, her voice somewhat cold and indifferent.

"Of course I won't blame you. What does it have to do with me what happened to Herlian Nash?" She tried to appear calm, but the panic on her face betrayed her completely.

“Young Miss…” A Meng paused, and she quickly looked up at Pei Nan Yue.

Unexpectedly, the strong and resilient Pei Nanyue suddenly went black and fell straight backward.

"Be careful--"

"Miss-"

Immediately, the Pei residence was thrown into chaos.

Third Prince's Mansion

Duan Yuchuan sat on a bamboo chair, watching with amusement as his servants hung festive lanterns all over the courtyard.

Sunlight fell on his sharply defined face, seemingly adding to his dashing appearance. He squinted slightly, freely enjoying the gentle breeze blowing through the courtyard.

It had been a very long time since he had basked in the sun so happily.

"Meet the Third Prince."

Suddenly a shrill voice came from behind him. Duan Yuchuan sat up and looked back, his face instantly showing a hint of joy.

"What brings you here, Eunuch Tao?"

He quickly stood up to greet him, but Tao Dehai strode over and pressed him back into his chair.

"Your Highness, there's no need for that. You've only just recovered, so please take good care of yourself. This old servant of mine is here on behalf of several ladies from the palace to deliver gifts to you."

Tao Dehai's lips curled into a meaningful smile. With a wave of his hand, the servants who had filed out of the courtyard carried in several boxes of gold and silver jewelry.

Before long, ten large boxes filled Duan Yuchuan's entire courtyard.

"This is……"

Duan Yuchuan's face stiffened. He really hadn't expected that Tao Dehai would be doing errand-running for others.

Tao Dehai smiled at him and gestured to his men to open one of the boxes.

As the lid of the box was opened, glittering gold and silver jewelry was revealed inside, all of which were of the highest quality.

"This is a wedding gift from several ladies in the palace to Your Highness the Third Prince. It seems you are the first of the princes of Nanyang to get married."

Tao Dehai's words made Duan Yuchuan frown slightly.

Although he had a smile on his face, the smile didn't really go far.

He naturally knew the meaning behind these gold and silver jewels.

Duan Yuchuan stood up, walked to the box, and looked at the box full of jewelry, but there was no joy on his face.

On the contrary, in Tao Dehai's view, his face was becoming increasingly ashen.

"Why don't we send it back, Eunuch Tao?"
